Default 1927 Yankees ball

This ball has walked into my local card shop. The Ruth looks off to me (though I'm no Ruth expert), but the others look pretty good. I believe the owner is going to send it in to a TPA.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I believe the Ruth is "clubhouse." Unsure of all the others, but a really good looking ball. Gehrig looks good to me. Thanks for sharing the photos

I would have thought the Gehrig too?

Doesn't Gehrig's first and last name usually touch on his autograph?

I am not sure of the periods, but there was a time that the u in Lou would continue in cursive to the capital G. But there was also a time when he broke off after the u and Gehrig was separate. EDIT: I also think there was a time where he scrapped the u and he signed Lo and continued on from the o into the capital G.

The "Gehrig" that appears on that ball is a perfect 1927-style signature. He didn't start running his first and last names together until the 1930s. And even then, when he signed carefully, the two names were separate.

1927:



1937:


"careful" 1937:

Thanks for the input guys. I definitely enjoyed holding and inspecting the ball, and I think it is clearly a period ball with mostly legit autos.

David, as I am in the market for a Huggins auto, can you share what about this one points you towards clubhouse? The H looks different than others I've seen, but the rest looks good to me.

It's just "off," Wayne.

Here's a Huggins on a 1923 ball:



And here's a Huggins-endorsed paycheck:



What do you think?

I do not have many baseballs in my collection, and all but one are IP. I have no team signed balls. When I inspected this one, I was amazed at how small the Huggins auto is, and signing in such a small spot would alter one's signature a bit. I see that it is a bit off, but I feel it may be within the realm of authenticity.

On the other hand, I do not like the capital H on it in comparison to yours and Rom K's exemplars.

Oh well, it is certainly strictly academic for me at this point. I hope to score a Huggins, but this one won't be it.

Thanks again.
